So are you all breaking fast on Sat 31st or waiting until Sun 1st Feb? I've done Dry Jan before in 2013, found in super easy and pretty much didn't drink until Easter 2013. But this year I'm counting down to Feb, really craving some red red wine!

Friend request sent, I've just started over too after gaining 20 lbs in 2014!!

Toronto, but live in London!

I'm from London, please add me too!

Take measurements usually when I kick off I loose 5 - 7 lbs right off the bat and then stop for a bit while the rest of me realises I'm shrinking. You are doing well!

I'm from London and I need to lose 2 stone (including the one I gained last year when I took a holiday from MFP)!!

Congratualtions! Thanks for sharing very inspirational!

One day once in a while shouldn't be a problem, just have to make sure you get a good work out in before hand and then just enjoy it. Having a tool like MFP can help you figure out what you need to burn on those off days. Enjoy it and use the tools you have!

Hello from London, looking to lose 1 - 2 stone over the next 6 - 8 months. Happy to motivate others :)

Movie theatre popcorn, large with butter is over 1000 calories, the small is 600 calories! The cheesy nachos are a better choice, who would have thought. Now I just pop my own, still around 350 cal for a small bag :(

This thread feeds me! Great job all!

I've got two: Constant Craving Oh wrong thread this was for describe your diet using a song title.

Hi I'm 5ft 3" and 165lbs was my starting weight in 2011, aiming for 135 - 125 and I'm currently at 148lbs. Add me if you want and we can motivate each other :)

I'm doing the no alcohol in Jan thing as well, did it last year and felt good. This Sat, I expect I'll be drinking 2 glasses of wine as I had to push back an evening out from Dec to Jan and it includes wine. But I'll just do an extra week dry in Feb. I'm not a big drinker I prefer my calories to come from carbs like bread…

Hi Kate, I'm in, same as you. Love yoga! We can do it :)

FOOD motivates me, if I wake up early and work out I know I can eat what I like the rest of the day. So easy to get motivated if you like to eat :) It also helps when you find an exercise you can't live without. For me if I don't do regular yoga and go on regular hikes I get grumpy so very easy to just get up and go. If…

Well done!! Feel free to add me :)

Thanks for sharing, great idea!

I'm getting started again as well, have never reached my goal weight but each year I start in Jan and lose some weight and keep off and maintain and this is my 3rd year starting just a little bit lighter than the year before so why not? Looking to eat clean, exercise, motivate my friends, and keep happy, add me if you like…

Awesome job, very inspiring :)

It is shocking how much stuff has sugar. I read lables for everything I buy and avoid cereals with sugar which is tough, and marinades and sauces with sugar, most have some. But I like sugar, and I believe if it is naturally occuring like in plain yoguart or fruit it is fine. I just don't like it sneaking up on me in…

Yes, one of my MFP friends really liked hiking so I told her about my hiking club and we took a hike together. Fab people on here!

Awesome commitment!! Very inspirational :) Keep it up!!

Your numbers Obesity Index 26bmi BMI is an estimate of how "overweight" or "obese" a person is National Below average You have a lower BMI than 57% of females aged 30-44 in your country Global Above average You have a higher BMI than 65% of females aged 30-44 in the world Did you know? If everyone in the world had the same…

Obese girl that was in crutches because she tripped on the stairs in her flat and the weight of her body broke her foot, said to me about counting calories that she wouldn't do that, she wanted to enjoy her life. We were at a gig and she was sat at the bar stool while I was dancing to the band and actually having FUN!!

I'm stealing your quote!! Depending on my mood I say either: "because I choose to be" or "I intimidate the nice guys and won't date the *kitten*"

Firstly you look great and are doing AWESOME!! You asked why and here is why I think you are getting comments NOW (my opinion only): At 330lbs you felt pretty bad about yourself and that would show in your attitude and demeanor (you just can't hide such strong feelings) I know they were strong as they motivated you to do…

Totally know what you mean about hidden sugar! Can't get soy sauce without it being full of sugar these days! Not sure where you live but I find that a good number of Sainsbury's (UK grocery store) products have no added sugar even the processed stuff. I love M&S too but their roast chicken breast has brown sugar, I don't…

Bump Sounds like a good way to get into clean eating, see if I can manage been trying and failing to stick to clean eating for too long. icandoit63 - thanks for sharing your journey!

Very bold of you! I can totally relate to flab abs great term for it. Other things bother me but my most annoying is Flab Abs!! On the 2 boobs - surely a good bar would solve that problem?
